Fantasy WR PPR Rankings Week 4: Who to start, sit at wide receiver in fantasy football image

Figuring out which wide receivers to start and which to sit in any given week isn't easy. We know there will always be surprise breakouts and busts every Sunday. Our Week 4 fantasy WR PPR rankings aim to help you make those tough start 'em, sit 'em decisions.

It's always tough to trust players who disappointed the week before, especially in good matchups, but you still need to ride with DeAndre Hopkins next week against the Rams and Jalen Ramsey. Rondale Moore also laid a complete egg, but he should see high passing volume in that contest. Christian Kirk, who's had three good games to start the season, is also in also play. We also like Deebo Samuel (vs. Seahawks), Allen Robinson (vs. Lions), and Terry McLaurin (@ Falcons) to bounce back, if there were any doubts.

WEEK 4 PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

Specifically in PPR, several players stand out this week, with Cole Beasley (vs. Houston), Hunter Renfrow (@ Chargers), and Tyler Boyd (vs. Jaguars) having real chances to eat and break into lineups as WR3s. Robby Anderson (@ Chargers) has some bounce-back flex appeal in a favorable matchup, especially with more targets being up for grabs with Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) out. The Cowboys' defense has been bad, and D.J. Moore will draw coverage from Trevon Diggs, who has looked like a stud early in his sophomore campaign. Brandon Aiyuk (vs. Seahawks) finally saw some usage in Week 3, so he's back in play against an awful Seahawks secondary. 

WEEK 4 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

Several WRs are dealing with QB issues, but Brandin Cooks (@ Bills), all the Steelers who suit up against the Packers (especially Diontae Johnson if he returns), and Jakobi Meyers (vs. Buccaneers) will be tough to sit in PPR leagues. They are simply getting too many targets. The Jaguars trio (@ Bengals) are similar, though much more high risk. Marvin Jones is the only one we feel even somewhat confident about.

As referenced with the Steelers, injuries are certainly issues at this position, with the Giants (@ Saints) also having several receivers who figure to be "questionable." Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is the best PPR play of the bunch, but depending on who's active, there might not be any recommended starters here, as Collin Johnson led all WRs in targets in Week 3. (Update: Both Shepard and Slayton are out.) Tennessee might be missing A.J. Brown (hamstring), which would open the door for one of its Week 3 surprises (Chester Rogers, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine) in a favorable matchup against the Jets. (Update: Both Brown and Julio Jones are out.) Tyler Lockett (knee), Antonio Brown (COVID), and Will Fuller could also leave holes in lineups, though it's tough to see any real "PPR sleepers" emerging from those situations unless you count Jaylen Waddle (vs. Colts), who had 12 catches and 13 targets in Week 3.
